Bug Description

There's a bug in systemd's virtualization detection algorithm that prevents the XenServer Tools from working: systemd-virt-detect reports "vm-other" instead of Xen on AMD hosts, and if it doesn't report "xen", then xe-daemon will refuse to start. Thus, installing Ubuntu as a guest on XenServer on an AMD host will be less than ideal.

This has been patched upstream: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/530c1c3028c484c503725bbac769b9051af83da7

If this fix could be pulled into Xenial / Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
